Abstract

The present invention is a stent delivery catheter system for placing a stent within a stenosis in a vessel of a human body without the need for either pre-dilatation of the stenosis or post-dilatation of the stent. The primary stenting delivery catheter system utilizes the combination of low profile (i.e., a small outer diameter) with a continuous, smooth and lubricious outer surface extending backward from a tapered distal tip. This design makes it possible for the stent delivery catheter to be pushed through even very tight stenoses without requiring pre-dilatation. Two versions of the primary stent delivery system are envisioned. The first version is a sheathed primary stenting system with a two-part sheath having a thick-walled proximal section and an ultra-thin distal section that is shrunk down to secure it to the catheter's distal tip. This embodiment differs from the prior art Fischell et al. device that does not shrink its membrane sheath down over the stent and over the balloon catheter's distal tip. <IMAGE>
